Yeah my friend was in a shop and some guy came in looking for some Hab's and Tattoo's. Needless to say the store did'nt sell them. The owner pointed to some scuds and the guy says oh those won't catch. Little did that guy know those plugs have caught so many fish, and big fish at that. Scuds are pretty much the only needle in my bag.

Sorry these plugs are so top secret that the builder has asked that no pictures be taken of the Scud. Any breach in security could bring a downfall of the striped bass in Newport and other parts unknown.

Should not be too hard to find - Aquidneck Island people seldom venture far because they are afraid of the troll that lives under the bridge - they have to be on-island someplace

I guess I should've said new wood instead of good wood as I also have had success with scuds.Not the spit and polish of other plugs but they do work.The
finish tends not last to long so I often sand them down give them a basic paint job and a couple coats of lacquer and they're ready to go again.

The plug was so beat up she thought I put it on just so she'd have something to throw.I told her its was a easy to work and the reason it looks like it does is because I'd caught many fish on it.And about 10mins later she caught her first fish.

Actually, Joe, he's a local - part of the distant early warning system to alert us to fish poachers

Not like it matters - everybody knows all the best fishing is in SoCo anyway....

Oops, sorry, didn't mean to let that one out of the bag....

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
